Council tax
Money off council tax for students and people who live with students

Part-time students

Part-time students have to pay Council Tax. They may be able to get Council Tax Support to help pay it:

One part-time student sharing with one full-time student: there is a 25 per cent reduction for the full-time student. The part-time student is responsible for the rest of the bill. They may qualify for Council Tax Support.

If two or more part-time students share with full-time students (it doesn't matter how many full-time students): there is no reduction. The part-time students are responsible for the whole bill. They may qualify for Council Tax Support if they have low incomes.

One part-time student living with one non-student: there is no reduction. Both are responsible for the bill. They may be able to get Council Tax Support to help with it if they have low incomes.
